My hypothesis was that a higher
influenced most directly by a) the student’s perception that his/her peers engage in unethicalbehavior (peer behavior), b) the extent to which the student reports engaging in prior high schoolcheating (prior behavior), c) the frequency with which a student perceives that they are temptedto engage in unethical behavior (frequency of temptation), and d) the context of the unethicalbehavior (e.g. cheating on a test versus cheating on a computer program; or stealing officesupplies versus falsifying quality assurance documents). These primary relationships(Relationships #1 - 4) to the final decision are shown in Figure 1 as solid arrows. The frequencyof temptation (which seems to be a fairly central variable) was also related to prior behavior,peer

exams?11. In an exam, if Student A allows Student B to copy answers: Both Student A and Student B are guilty of cheating. Only Student A (the person providing the answer) is guilty of cheating. Only Student B (the person taking the answer) is guilty of cheating. Neither student is guilty of cheating.12. When students are caught cheating, is it partly the instructor’s fault for assigning too much work? Page 14.153.1413. When you cheat, most often it is because of: Time pressure - the student doesn't have enough time to do everything that is assigned or to study everything in time Excessive
students to pedagogies of liberation encourages them to claim responsibility for theirdecisions and to see themselves as co-teachers in a community of scholars18. Critical thinkingand reflective action are methods used to understand situations and decide on which part of Page 25.836.3professional ethics to use to toggle the situation. These are also the outcomes of pedagogies ofliberation. Students who are taught from this perspective not only learn to think ethically but alsoto act ethically.Herreid16 stated that the use of case studies in teaching could be classified into four major types:(a) individual assignment; (b) lecture format; (c
interviewing engineering faculty about how they currently approach the topic ofsustainability in their courses and how they might envision integrating sustainability in futureclasses, we hope to begin shaping a future curriculum and policy that embraces the emergingsocietal and technological needs for sustainability in engineering education.Following standard methods of qualitative research design6, we constructed an interviewinstrument as the primary tool for this study. This instrument includes a) a written definition ofsustainability, and b) a list of questions which are being posed to specific stakeholders at thisuniversity. The interview questions and the stakeholders targeted by each interview question arelisted below: Administrators

exemplars of macroethics instruction which have the potential be scaled andsustained at locations beyond their existing level of use. To assist in this process, four evaluationcriteria were established: (a) likely to have a high impact on student learning; (b) strongassessment methods; (c) novel or innovative; (d) transferability (to other institutions ordisciplines); these were rated on a scale from 1 (low) to 4 (high). An overall evaluation on levelof interest / excitement for including this teaching example in further research employed a 1(low) to 10 (highest) scale. Raters could also provide open comments. The interviewees wereasked to rate at least six de-identified teaching examples, and 29 sets of ratings were completed.The five members of
